Chronic Pain Treatment in Cardiff

At Governing Function Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Cardiff city centre, we provide professional, evidence-informed care for people experiencing chronic or persistent pain.
Our approach combines osteopathy, neurology, and rehabilitation to help you understand your pain, improve movement, and support long-term recovery.

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain refers to pain that lasts for more than three months and may continue even after an initial injury or condition has healed. It can affect many areas of life from work and sleep to mood, energy, and confidence.

Chronic pain is complex and can involve changes in how the nervous system processes pain signals. This means pain may persist even when there is no ongoing tissue damage.
At Governing Function, we recognise that effective management requires understanding the relationship between the body, nervous system, and movement patterns.

Common types of chronic pain include:

  • Persistent back and neck pain

  • Long-term joint or muscle pain

  • Post-injury or post-surgical pain

  • Repetitive strain and work-related pain

  • Pain following sports injuries

  • Unresolved pain with no clear cause

Our Approach to Chronic Pain

Our osteopath, takes a detailed and individualised approach to each case.
Your first consultation involves a full assessment to understand your health history, lifestyle, movement, and neurological function. This allows us to identify contributing factors that may be maintaining your pain.

Treatment at Governing Function may include:

  • Osteopathic techniques to improve mobility and reduce physical tension

  • Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR) to address neurological dysfunction and reflex imbalances

  • Movement rehabilitation to retrain inefficient patterns
